Two Moths Poem by Glen Martin Fitch

Two Moths



I know I see 
what others cannot see.
I've spied 
the desperate frenzy 
in your eyes.
My love is not the drug 
that makes you dance.
It's heat and light 
that draw you ever near.
But do you see 
my yearning to be free?
If you could hear 
the fantasies and lies that feed 
my deep addiction 
to romance
you'd sense 
how trapped I am 
by my own fear.
Your fate?  
To be consumed. 
(You long each night 
to kiss the glow
the clever glass contains) .
My fate?  
Abandoned here 
with growing fright.
(These portals, clear,
reveal,  yet each retains) . 
At dusk you fly more frantic 
round the light
as I spin slower 
trapped between two panes.
